I’m fucking obsessed. I love this book and this little family with my whole heart. I read ‘pucking ever after’ and finished it in one day and I will never tire of reading about this relationship 🤍🤍

Also, I’m fully in love with Ilmari. ESPECIALLY after reading PEA. 🤤

[uncontrolled-book-addict]

Just finished Pucking Around by Emily Rath.

It’s a spicey hockey romance between a doctor (Rachael) and a guy she hooked up with that is on the team she now works at as a physical therapist for (Jake) and the equipment manager for said team (Caleb- also Jakes best friend) and the goalie who is pretending to hide and injury (Ilmari). MMFM (Ilmari is not dating anyone but Rachael and the others are dating each other.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⚠️Spoilers below⚠️

It’s a why choose novel and pretty good tbh. It’s pretty funny in a few instances esp in the beginning which is what pulled in my attention and it only took me a couple of days to read.

I didn’t really feel opinionated on the spicy scenes but that can be bc I’m on the aroace spec so you know. It did have a lot of them so if your into that check it out!

I really liked how the relationship that Caleb and Jake had with Ilmari changed through out the relationship after Ilmari was added to it.

Also Caleb having his wanker pierced and Jakes reaction was priceless.

I don’t really have a set reason for this but my favorite character was definitely Ryan Langley. Idk why but his vibes kinda scream “child with undiagnosed adhd” and I am living for it. (I was actually so upset when I finished it on August first and realized Pucking Wild doesn’t come out until the twenty first. I literally cried. For hours. In a manic “omg i love this but WHY TWENTY DAYS” way. Then Emily Rath posted about it TWICE the next day.)

I really liked Rachael’s interaction with the rest of the team. To me, it seemed like she is the type of person to respond with “I mean you *could* but I’d also think about the consequences of me kicking your ass after” (or benching your ass by not signing your medical forms). 😇

The ending was absolutely amazing in my opinion. The phone swap was such an interesting thing and I loved that is was as much as surprise for us as it was Rachael. Everyone changing their last names for Rachael so it was still Price against the world made me almost cry.

Also her parents are supportive of her poly relationship and there wasn’t a big “I have to convince my parents I know what I’m getting into” thing and that was really nice.

Also the amount of support from everyone she’s worked with was astounding! Caleb, Jake, and Ilmari really said Go big with this or quit the team.

(Ryan writing enough for a college thesis I swear I love this man SO MUCH)

Favorite Kindle Authors 2024

Happy Thursday Nerds! I often get asked about my favorite Kindle authors and why they are my favorite. When I get put on the spot I have a hard time answering that question, I’m not that great at thinking on my feet. So I decided to compile a list that will probably change in the future but is up to date as of now. This list is pretty interchangeable for the most part. These are authors that I…

[digitalfaehaven]

Ordered these books ! Cant wait to read them, i’m currently reading Grave by Shantel Tessier, and I might try to finish the Dark Kingdom series first ?

I heard across state lines is absolutely NASTY. I’m gonna try to avoid spoilers for that one because it’s sounds insane and I wanna be surprised.

PROMPTS FOR ACCIDENTALLY RUNNING INTO A ONE NIGHT STAND YOU THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER SEE AGAIN *  assorted dialogue for that specific scenario where your muse slept with someone and then they parted ways, never expecting to run into each other until that amazing "oh my god, it's you" moment, adjust as necessary

please don't tell me you work here.

admit it. you still think about me.

that was the best night of my life.

i tried finding you, tried tracking you down.

you never told me your name.

well... this is awkward.

we could go for a round two later.

could i take you out for drinks?

this cannot be happening.

there were no feelings involved.

they're asking how we know each other. what do we say?

i never thought i'd ever see you again.

did you ever tell anyone about us?

maybe we could try going on a proper date this time.

you didn't even give me a chance to talk to you the next morning.

by the time i woke up, you were gone.

you didn't even leave me your number.

i never got your name.

can we just start over and try this all again? pretend like we never met?

so... wait. we're going to be coworkers?

they're very strict about fraternization.

there is no "us." we were never anything.

i cannot mix my professional life and my personal life.

act like you don't know me.

it was just a one night stand.

we should start over.

you can't flirt with me anymore.

i should have spent the night.

can we just act like it never happened and carry on like normal?

i thought about you every night.

no, i've never met you before in my life.

i didn't have time to get involved in anyone.

i never promised i'd stay the night.

i'll admit, it was great.

so it was a night of great sex. big whoop.

they can't know we slept together, okay?

i've moved on, and so should you.

keep this between us.

did you tell anyone we hooked up?

don't give me that look.

so you do think about me.

i wish i stayed overnight.

if they find out we slept together, we're in big trouble.

of course i think about you.

you were honestly the best i've ever had

it was a mistake to hook up like that.

it was just for fun.

we never should have crossed that line.

let's just put that in the past and forget it even happened.

i have to focus on my work now and not think about you.

pretend like we just met.

will you finally give me your name?

so... what should i call you?

i'm not used to seeing you with clothes on.

you look different in daylight.

you can't flirt your way into my pants this time.

it was amazing, i'll admit, but we can't go back.

please don't tell them what happened.

to tell you the truth, i missed you.

i haven't been with anyone since.

we could try being friends.

admit it. you loved it.

please don't mess this up for me.

you've always been on my mind.

i can't believe i finally found you.

if we're going to work together, we need to put everyone aside and focus.

don't smile at me like that.

These are the character profile cards that came with the LE of Undead Darlings I got.

[haveyoureadthispoll]

My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I’d see him again. I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL’s hottest new hockey team…and I’m his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn’t even recognize me! This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I’ve got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can’t tell he’s hiding an injury! This is my chance to prove myself, and I’m not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can’t fall for a player…let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

Royally Pucked

Layne Thomas is the new physical therapist for the San Diego Daggers but on day one, she runs into an all too familiar face, who is also the captain of the Daggers. Jake Seresin, who met Layne by chance in Denver, Colorado after a game, has nonstop thought of her ever since that december night and now she’s here before him in San Diego. Jake pines after his Denver girl while Layne does everything to ignore his advances, even going as far to show more interest in his alternate captain despite her own feelings for him blooming.
